Seized by the System Chapter 719

Chapter 719 - Walking the Path of Humans

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Vigilante A did not go far from the Astral Formation.

The alchemists did not chase after him either. Although they had the upper hand for the first time in the previous battle, they had to admit that Vigilante A still held strategic initiative.

He could choose when and where to attack, while they would only be safe if they stayed still and relied on the defense of the Astral Formation.

However, Sir System was obviously not satisfied with this situation.

“It’s all your fault. If you guided me to kill them when they first entered, we wouldn’t have this much trouble now. You don’t have a good grasp of the overall situation at all!” The System prattled.

“Hey, you can’t blame that on me. Heaven can’t be predicted. Who would think that those evildoers would be favored by heaven? Heaven did this, not me.” Fang Ning quickly made an excuse.

“Your skill in pushing away responsibility is really amazing. What do we do now?” Sir System snapped.

“We need to solve our immediate problems first. Since we can’t retreat or advance, we’ll just have to go against Heaven.” Fang Ning said solemnly.

“I don’t understand. Speak clearer.” Sir System was confused.

“It means we need to first defeat the Heavenly Axiom here, and then clean up those bandits.” Fang Ning said firmly.

“Easier said than done, but what’s the specific plan?” Sir System asked in anticipation.

“Uh, I haven’t thought about that. Give me a second.” Fang Ning sat on the sofa, frowning. He also cupped his chin and posed as The Thinker.

“Then I’ll give you a second.” Sir System said graciously.

Fang Ning immediately fell to the ground and vomited blood.

“There’s no point acting. This trouble was all caused by your delay, so you have to solve it immediately.” The System said adamantly.

Fang Ning immediately got a headache. He was suddenly struck by inspiration and thought of the key.

“Ah, I’m really dumb. It’s true. I completely forgot about that.” He slapped his thigh and quickly said, “You should remember when William entered, the Heavenly Axiom gave me a message saying there was a second candidate. I even reminded you accordingly.”

“Yeah, as a result, it wasn’t William who was the trouble, but a group of ragtag bandits that followed after him that were troublesome.” Sir System grumbled.

“Cut the crap. This shows that we can still communicate with this Heavenly Axiom. We can let it lift the restrictions on us.” Fang Ning mused.

“Then hurry and foot it. When it lifts the restrictions, let it see how I beat it up.” Sir System urged.

“You’re not beating it up. You need to use ‘love and justice’ to reform it and bring it back on the right path.” Fang Ning said firmly.

“…” The System was dumbstruck and only spoke after a long while, “Mr. Rich Host, did you fool yourself until you become muddled? You still want to reform that thing?”

“Look at you, you’re always so violent. You must always remember that serving people with virtue is the right way.” Fang Ning said with an expression devoted to righteousness.

“Wow, I feel like you’ve become slightly enigmatic…” Sir System said in admiration.

“It’s good that you know. Now, open the communication channel between the System Space and the outside. I’ll try communicating with it.” Fang Ning instructed.

“Done.” Sir System quickly said, unprecedentedly obedient.

Then, a strange voice suddenly sounded in the System Space.

“Chief candidate, your qualifications really are unparalleled. Thus, I’ll make an exception and give you a choice. As long as you follow my path, you’ll have maximum authority in this land. As long as this world exists, you will live forever…”

Fang Ning forcefully calmed himself down.

The arcane realm’s Heavenly Axiom really was different. It was the first foreign thing that could speak openly in the System Space ever since the System was born.

Its temptation was almost irresistible to others.

However, to Vigilante A, it did not mean much.

He already had an arcane realm in his hands, so this one was not as pressing to him.

Thus, he pretended lightly, “What’s your path?”

“The heavens of all worlds are pastures for souls. Countless living creatures make for the origin of the soul, and all souls are nourishment.” The voice was incredibly cold.

“Before the Era of Vitality, there were always people who lamented that there was no afterlife. After the Era of Vitality, souls and the matter of reincarnation are no longer fabricated. The outside world has the Bodhisattva Spirit King who can reincarnate kind souls into Spiritual Insects. By doing this, aren’t you depriving the good souls the chance of reincarnating?” Fang Ning said forcibly.

“Ridiculous… I never thought that such a high existence like you would look at all living things and even use the good and evil of humans to distinguish them. Heaven is far away and ancient. So what if someone is good or evil? Those are just concepts that disappear in the twinkle of an eye. What’s valuable is the soul itself, so what’s the difference between good and evil?” That voice lightly said.

“So that’s your three views? As expected of a Heavenly Axiom. Nature is the true law. The Heavenly Axiom does not differentiate between good and evil, but humans do. We are humans, so we walk the path of humans, not the path of Heaven 1 .” Fang Ning said.

“Don’t you want to live forever, as long as the land itself? You should know, although I’m small, I’m also an existence from a Dongtian World and possess a lifespan of millions of years. This kind of result is something that can only be pined after by many buddhas and immortals, but you don’t care at all?” The voice seemed slightly surprised.

“Although the results are good, I will stick to my own path. As the saying goes, ‘if in the morning a man were to gain knowledge of the correct path, he would be able to die peacefully at sunset’.” Fang Ning said firmly.

“In that case, I can only kill you.” The voice merely said those words, and nothing else.

“Hey, Mr. Rich Host, you… you’re acting strange today!” The System suddenly became flustered.

“What are you talking about? If you don’t understand problems about principle, then just back down. If we agreed to it, it’ll break down our System Maxim if you don’t listen to it. It doesn’t matter if someone is good or evil, they’ll all be considered nourishment. To it, that’s a completely natural principle. Whether you’re Yue Fei or Qin Hui 2 , there’ll only be yellow sand after death. However, the significance to us is very different. The former would leave a good reputation for all eternity, while the latter would have his name go down in history as a byword for infamy. If we don’t make any distinction, we’ll be dealing with all those souls the same way. That’s definitely not the way of a Hero.” Fang Ning insisted.

“Hm, when you put it that way, it does make sense. However, how are we supposed to fight it? I’ve never dealt with someone like that before.” The System said gloomily.

“Heh, heaven and earth operate on their own rules. It had already admitted that its source of power comes from the countless souls from the outside world. If we can strangle that channel…” Fang Ning said confidently.

“I see, so where are these soul channels? Do we have to search from scratch?” Sir System complained.

“Hehe, there’s already a guy doing that for us. It’s time we meet him.” Fang Ning said triumphantly.

“Oh, I get it. Mr. Rich Boss, you’re so smart.” The System said firmly.
